Every great man
needs voices to speak for him.
My voice was one
of the best, strongest, and most
persuasive. So
it was purchased to speak for
Deegan. By his
word, I spoke for the boards of
a dozen firms.
I thought I had given my
children a life
without the anxious whispers
of want. But then
came the crash, and suddenly
my staggering
voice was silenced. No surprise
that throat cancer
took me, twenty months later.
